Wendy's Beefs Up Its Menu with Three New Made to Crave Cheeseburgers

DUBLIN, Ohio, Feb. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Trying to take your go-to cheeseburger to new heights? We Got You™! Wendy's® new Made to Crave menu unlocks a whole new world of cheeseburgers made with unforgettable flavors that take craveability to its peak. The new Made to Crave line introduces a trio of cheeseburgers to the fresh, never frozen beef* family: S'Awesome Bacon Cheeseburger, Peppercorn Mushroom Melt and Barbecue Cheeseburger.

Let's face it, foodies want maximum craveability and quickly get hooked on the Deliciously Different® flavors Wendy's is known for bringing to the table – but sometimes, these on-trend flavors are offered for a limited time. Now, Made to Crave offers the same deliciousness as an exclusive menu item, but is here to stay, so you can have flavor for days… specifically Monday thru Sunday, all year long.

"There's a reason we named the new menu line, Made to Crave," said Kurt Kane, Wendy's Executive Vice President, Chief Concept and Marketing Officer. "Because it's true. These hamburgers are so undeniably good that Made to Crave is being integrated as part of our everyday menu."

The S'Awesome Bacon Cheeseburger, Peppercorn Mushroom Melt and Barbecue Cheeseburger are individually crafted and available every day, so you can indulge in the flavors you want, when you want them.

S'Awesome Bacon Cheeseburger: The fan-favorite is back, adding Wendy's twist to the beloved bacon cheeseburger.

Purchase the S'Awesome Bacon Cheeseburger for $5.29**.

Peppercorn Mushroom Melt: This sandwich raises the bar on quality, featuring white mushrooms that are grown and handpicked in the U.S., sautéed, fire-roasted and seasoned.

The Peppercorn Mushroom Melt is topped with a smoked peppercorn aioli, which is made with cracked peppercorn, fresh garlic and has underlying tones of mushrooms, creating a super savory sauce that adds layers of flavor in each bite.
